ABSTRACT
Modern distributed systems should be built to anticipate performance degradation. Often requests in these systems involve ten to thousands Remote Procedure Calls, each of which can be a source of performance degradation. The PhD programme presented here intends to address this issue by providing automated instruments to effectively drive performance fault injection in distributed systems. The envisioned approach exploits multi-objective search-based techniques to automatically find small combinations of tiny performance degradations induced by specific RPCs,which have significant impacts on the user-perceived performance. Automating the search of these events will improve the ability to inject performance issues in production in order to force developers to anticipate and mitigate them.

A Framework for Assessing Dependability in Distributed Systems with Lightweight Fault Injectors
IPDS '00: Proceedings of the 4th International Computer Performance and Dependability SymposiumMany fault injection tools are available for dependability assessment. Although these tools are good at injecting a single fault model into a single system, they suffer from two main limitations for use in distributed systems: (1) no single tool is ...
Fault Injection and Dependability Evaluation of Fault-Tolerant Systems
The authors describe a dependability evaluation method based on fault injection that establishes the link between the experimental evaluation of the fault tolerance process and the fault occurrence process. The main characteristics of a fault injection ...
A Java Framework to Specify Faultloads for Fault Injection Campaigns
In an operational environment, the identification and reproduction of faults may be hard to be done, specially in complex systems. Use of fault injection accelerates this process, improving the test of fault tolerance mechanisms. However, there are a ...
